解説
A groundbreaking portrait of Coretta Scott King, whose brilliant activism and extraordinary life has been obscured in popular memory-until now
Coretta Scott King is one of the most memorialized yet misunderstood figures in the American civil rights movement pantheon, remembered as beautiful, respectable, and endlessly supportive of her famous husband. We don't know her at all.
Scott King was a visionary activist in her own right. More of an activist than King when they met, Scott King led her husband to live his faith through social justice, fought throughout her life against the triple evils of poverty, racism, and militarism, and led the charge inside mainstream civil rights organizations for LGBTQ rights. The Kings' marriage was a political partnership that directed the course of the civil rights struggle. After Dr. King's death, her activism in support of global justice and racial-economic justice continued for decades.
Edited by the New York Times-bestselling author Jeanne Theoharis and accomplished historian Traci Parker, and featuring contributions from leading civil rights movement historians, this collective biography shows that it is high time we know the real Coretta Scott King, lifelong freedom fighter and powerful force in American history.
